Artist Joshua Barber Exhibits "city" Collection at the Glave Kocen Gallery on December 6th

Online, November 24, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Richmond-based artist Joshua Barber reveals "city," his first new collection in three years, on December 6, 2013, at the Glave Kocen Gallery from 6-9 p.m. 

The six-piece series consists of kaleidoscopic visions of the old city of Jerusalem, which Barber visited in 2012. Inspired by the rich and fractured history of this ancient city, the collection advances the idea that Jerusalem belongs to everyone who visits it. A video installation created by Barber will also be on display during the opening night.

The exhibit will be on display from December 6th - 31st. If you'd like to learn more about "city" and view the full collection, please visit http://www.JoshuaBarberFineArt.com/city

"Each one of us is surrounded by a sphere of solitude that not even the closest intimacy can break." Barber says in his artist statement. "This loneliness feeds our fears, nightmares and our deepest regrets. But loneliness is not bad in itself — when we're alone, we pay attention. Small events take on deep significance and hold this answer we wish we could share with the world, but we know just wouldn't come out right. We are left with a personal, scattered playlist of seconds. Whether they are good or bad, they are our own and I find great beauty in that."
